Stephen Engel in attendance. He explains per the plan – wants to remove space instead of adding and leave structure on the front as well. Asphalt roofing. Roughcut lumber. Roof tops. Gas meter so old classified as non gas – $3,500 a ton for rebate funds, now have to go to rooftops, half the money for heat pumps. Placed where smoke stacks were. Back of the building. Won’t see the rooftops, backside will see. Future may come back to put bump out on. These are the three things we are changing. 2 Laura Cronin, what is changing on the bump out? Trent Gelo, nothing has changed. Not doing a bump out. Trying to keep clean, as is for now. Peri Wentworth, chimneys look like? Last presentation this was shown. Stephen Engel, train tracks going along the building, if took out it wouldn’t’ have looked right. Blends with train tracks going in and good usage. Peri Wentworth, directs to Staff, anything required about screening? Corey Pacheco, rooftop shall be screened not viewable from public way. Applicant needs to prove not visible from public wqy. Stephen Engel, something to handle the wind and look appealing would be hard to do. How would this be secured? Trent Gelo, really can’t see them from public view. Stephen Engel – could not see the rooftops from bus stop and train station. Chair Cheryl Powell opens up public comment. None. Stephen Engel thanks town for the trees, free trees. Looks very nice.

Modification for the monument sign. Dimensions aren’t clearly written – sign vendor has determined it has exceeded what is needed for this sign. Have approved sign, but the dimensions conflict with legal lease of the Regulatory Agreement (RA). There was an error in the calculation itself, only text was calculated. The background has to be considered as well. Modification to the RA - have 14.2 sq. ft. to work with. Propose a sign that fits within RA and then seek from Planning Board and then come back for a redesign monument sign. Planning Board condition of approval – for 6 plants; 3 hydrangeas and 3 blue princess hollies. This will fit within the RA and with the condition to do the plantings. Attorney Nickerson, there is a landscape plan in position for it. Don’t have any height issues. Some plantings will help break it up. 3 Laura Cronin, where will they be placed, in front of the brick? Attorney Nickerson, yes, in front of the sign, in front of the brick. Lights to illuminate the sign. Chair Cheryl Powell, it meets the zoning, fits in with our guidelines as well? Attorney Nickerson, yes. Tom Doherty, irrigation system? Attorney Nickerson, don’t know, but there is a landscape bond in place. Looks nice currently. There are 7 business signs with the project. Conrad Watson, front of the building, facing Main Street, new signs going up there? Attorney Nickerson, no changes to that footprint. There is a Dunkin sign there and reserved space for tenant sign for when needed Chair Cheryl Powell opens up public comment. None. Chair closes public comment.
